What we do
Three services, and the first one is usually enough
For most builders the website and the gallery do the heavy lifting, because the decision is slow and the homeowner is nervous. Marketing and software come later, if at all.
Websites
Galleries organised by project, and an enquiry that asks the budget.

Local search, projects as content, and follow-up on quotes.
Read more →Quoting & projects
Quotes and invoices on BlitzBooks, custom tracking where it pays.

Does it pay for itself
One project pays for this several times over
A full renovation runs into the hundreds of thousands, and the margin on one of them is far larger than the cost of a website. So the arithmetic is not the hard part. The hard part is being the builder a homeowner trusts with that money, which is a proof problem rather than a pricing one.
That is why a builder website starts with the gallery.

How a builder website gets started
01
A call about your last five quotes
Which closed, which went quiet, and what the homeowner said. That tells us more than your current website does.
02
A written quote
Where enquiries are being lost, in plain terms. Sometimes the site is fine and the follow-up is the problem.
03
The gallery first
For a builder the project photography does the persuading, so it is organised before anything else is designed.
04
A preview link from week one
You shape it as it is built rather than reacting to a reveal at the end.
What we will and will not promise you
Free quote, no obligation
We go through your site, your gallery and your enquiry path and quote what it would take. Yours whether you build with us or not.
We will tell you what we have not done
We have not built for a building or renovation company yet, and you will hear that from us before you hear it anywhere else.
In your name from day one
Domain, hosting and inbox registered to you during the build. Leave whenever you like and nothing needs rebuilding.
We have not built for a builder yet, and you should weigh that
Everything on this page is either something you can check about your own trade or something you can click in another industry. If a builder-specific portfolio matters to you, we are not the strongest option on the table today, and we would rather you knew that before the call.
What clients in other trades say about us
5.0 on Google →Professional, efficient, and delivered exactly what we needed. The website is clean, modern and easy for our customers to use, and communication was clear throughout.
An absolute pleasure working with James. He created an amazing website for us and kept communication clear the whole way through. Highly recommend for website design or advertising.
Frequently asked questions from builders
Have you built for a builder before?
No, not yet, and we would rather tell you that now than have you find out later. What we have are live builds in other industries that you can click through, including trades and a non-profit platform. Judge the standard of the work and decide whether it transfers.
Should my NHBRC registration be on the website?
If you build new homes, yes. A builder registers with the NHBRC, but each new home is enrolled separately at least 15 days before construction, and it is enrolment that carries the 5-year structural warranty. A homeowner who knows that difference is exactly the client worth winning, and most builder sites never mention it.
Our project photos are all on a phone. Is that a problem?
It is the normal starting point and usually workable. Phone photos of good work beat professional photos of average work. We will say when a project deserves a proper shoot, and that is quoted separately.
Who owns the site?
You do. The domain and hosting are registered to you during the build rather than transferred at the end.
Homeowners take months to decide. Does marketing help?
It changes what marketing has to do. On a long decision the job is staying present and credible for weeks rather than converting on the first visit, so the gallery and the follow-up matter more than the advert.
Still got a question? Ask it on the call, it is free either way.
Tell us what usually kills a quote
Tell us how homeowners find you now and what usually kills a quote. If your problem is capacity rather than enquiries, we will say so and stop there.
We take a handful of builds at a time
